<p align=center><b>Release 4.2: DB-&gt;verify</b></p>
<p>In previous releases, applications calling the <a href="../../api_c/db_verify.html">DB-&gt;verify</a> method had
to explicitly discard the <a href="../../api_c/db_class.html">DB</a> handle by calling the
<a href="../../api_c/db_close.html">DB-&gt;close</a> method.  Further, using the <a href="../../api_c/db_class.html">DB</a> handle in other ways
after calling the <a href="../../api_c/db_verify.html">DB-&gt;verify</a> method was not prohibited by the
documentation, although such use was likely to lead to problems.</p>
<p>For consistency with other Berkeley DB methods, <a href="../../api_c/db_verify.html">DB-&gt;verify</a> method has been
documented in the current release as a <a href="../../api_c/db_class.html">DB</a> handle destructor.
Applications using the <a href="../../api_c/db_class.html">DB</a> handle in any way (including calling
the <a href="../../api_c/db_close.html">DB-&gt;close</a> method) after calling <a href="../../api_c/db_verify.html">DB-&gt;verify</a> should be
updated to make no further use of any kind of the <a href="../../api_c/db_class.html">DB</a> handle
after <a href="../../api_c/db_verify.html">DB-&gt;verify</a> returns.</p>
